Love it will try myself sometime in the future. I wonder if the bird is a little to central

I like your little guy there Gus , the image it is drives to oil paint :)
It's lovely, Gus! I never tire of seeing the visitors to your garden. I also think he's a bit too centered - maybe a bit off the right side since he's looking left. Otherwise, a remarkable image!
Gus, You aren't boring me. I love these. I think Jules makes a good suggestion regarding the crop. I might tone down the perch on the right a bit. Nice work as usual!:)
Hi Gus, love seeing your paintings of the birds in your garden. Agree with Julie's comments.
Beautiful composition. Love the colors and the bg. TFS.
Beautiful work, Gus, and please keep them coming! :) Love the BG on this, and I agree with Jules suggestion on the comp.
Gus, I rather like the just off-centre composition here ... did you paint this with oils or is it a photograph that has been filtered etc!?
Cheers

Hi Amano;
This was done digitally from a photo taken from my garden. I use a free program called Fotosketcher and do finishing using CS5. Some of the finishing is descibed at the head of this Forum and other posts.
It's a lot of fun pushing the envelope for OOTB forum
Have fun
Gus
